Madame X by John Singer Sargent
This bold and scandalous picture is titled Madame X due to the fact that the woman who modelled for it was so scandalised by the artwork that she insisted that John Singer Sargeant remove her name from all associations with it. Find out the full story here..

American Gothic – Fashion Inspiration
Here are my top picks to have you looking slightly less like a "pinched, grim-faced, puritanical Bible-thumper" that embodies American Gothic and a little more effortlessly chill. It's a perfect look for our current Autumn weather.

American Gothic by Grant Wood
This American Life...
American Gothic is by far Grant Wood’s most famous painting, and it’s also one of the most recognizable works of the 20th century. Wood painted it in 1930 and it wasn’t long before the parodies started to emerge – however, it wasn’t always received with such admiration.

The Two Fridas by Frida Kahlo
How do you mend a broken heart?....
When Frida first painted this piece, she initially wrote in her diary that it was inspired by an imaginary friend she had as a child. It was only much later on, perhaps after she had somewhat recovered from the emotional struggle of the divorce, that she admitted her divorce is what inspired her to create it.

Saudade by Almeida Junior
All the love that remains...
Saudade is a beautiful oil painting by one of Brazil's most famous artists. If like me, you'd never heard of the word Saudade before - its because it's one of those words that has no English equivalent... but this painting captures it's meaning perfectly.
